I'm not sure if thats been officially ruled on so might not be the case. Although...
Effect 7 costs 343 Chakra though and it basically makes us unable to die.
"Beat us by about 12-18 on a roll or we don't feel it."
Though, it would be super useful to have high Alertness so that we can throw this out before anyone attacks us.
Likewise having decent Athletics so that the malus there doesn't murder us too badly. Though in a serious business fight I suppose we would have Skywalkers which might help us out.

Nah. It just means that raising PHysique actually has a point for us between the breakpoints.Uh, yeah, to a point that's useful at level 60.
E: PEA 60 gives
- 7 non-ablative armour (your opponent needs to deal 8 stress in one hit or they do nothing)
- +21 Physique
- ...which moves us up to the next HP bracket
- And costs a ridiculous amount of first XP and then Chakra.

*cough*
Get a Physique based Taijutsu style and it will absolutely be useful.

- Yes.
At PEA 30 we can tank an explosion to the face. It's a fun jutsu.

Say, which branch of the Yaks had the people on the ship and would have hired the assassin, anyway? (All jokes that it was Jiraiya aside.)
The PEA thing does sound amazing. How much chakra does it cost?
And if some of the Pangolin jutsus are that good, I wonder if we could get access to any toad ones.

Too much. Far too much. To the point where if we want to use it effectively we'll need enough XP spent on CR to learn Shadow Clone around the same time. And then we'll need to spend all the bonus SC XP on levelling PEA.

NB: Pangolin Earth Armor at Effect 4 is perfectly fine for the time being.

Does the chakra cost scale with how protective it is?
Ablative armor that only removed one or two shifts is still pretty darn useful, even if we went all suicide bomber. Making the explosions hurt the other guy more than they hurt us is potentially a winning strategy in some situations.

Note that this is for 30s of use, or around 5-6 rounds.

Until you start hitting, like, high-level fighter/rogue hybrids with 18 attacks / turn
Copying in from discord:
Thoughts?
Ok. So basically, we make a three-party deal:
The Gouketsu make the pangolins aware that we can make skywalkers, and that we are willing to trade them to the pangolins in exchange for a garunteed-enforceable agreement that they will treat conquered people with respect and make them full pangolin-empire citizens. We also make them aware that in order for such a deal to take place then they need to create a method of binding themselves to honour the agreement (and no, a sense of honour is not enough, "My uncle, who creates the seals, assumes your words mean nothing. He's paranoid like that.").
The Nara are called in to be solicitors and make sure the enforcement method works. The pangolins must pay the Nara clan for each enforcement method they want the Nara clan to test, meaning the Pangolins are incentivised to create a working version first time so as to spend as little as possible. The Nara clan also want to maximise their payout, so they're incentivised to find out if it doesn't work.
At the end of the day, The Gouketsu get a non-horrible seventh path, the Pangolins get military supremacy, and the Nara get a payday. As far as I can see, no one is incentivised to rebel.
